Spud guns, which launch projectiles (usually potatoes), can cause injury if misused. Media coverage often focuses on incidents where they are used irresponsibly, leading to negative perceptions. Unlike firearms, spud guns often fall into a gray area of regulation. This ambiguity can lead to concerns about safety and responsible ownership, which the media may highlight.

It depends on how you use the potato gun. It can be a dangerous weapon when you use it stupidly like shooting people or putting too much air or feul into them. That's why there needs to be strict regulations on this about safety and responsible ownership, which the media can highlight.

Most of the danger will come from the construction of the Spud Gun, not the use, PVC being what it is, will be the main cause of failures, usually explosive. PVC is not air pressure rated.

Adding to that....

And "putting too much fuel" into a spud gun generally results in a misfire. No bang at all. Hardly dangerous.
